"washi tape"

One of the hot new trends out in the scrapbooking world is "washi tape". Have you heard of it. It is so much fun. It's a quick way to add photos or embellishments to a layout, journal, or even hang a photo on the frig.
Well, I have a quick tip today on how to create "faux washi tape" using your favorite patterned paper.
For my sample today, I used the Salon Stripe, Red & Green - Scandia Jul Collection by Rob and Bob. Cut a strip...

Run it through your Xyron X...

Tear it by hand to give it a "natural" look. {This also allows you to create whatever size you need.}
And, attach your photos to your layout!

So simple and inexpensive!
